Pastebud — Looks like this new iPhone web app called Pastebud is out that does exactly what I had envisioned for the iCopyuPaste web service of mine. Unfortunately for me and the rest of you out there, I’ve been swamped with too many other commitments to get mine out there first. Therefore, I’ve decided to simply offer my help to the developers of Pastebud, and see if they’ll let me help out with this project. The only thing that iCopyuPaste would have an advantage over on Pastebud is the fact that I didn’t plan on charging anyone for this service. Pastebud costs $5 to use once it officially releases. Also, I plan on giving iCopyuPaste an open-source license so that anyone that wants to see how it works can. I’ve got a lot of work to do to get my code published. Stay tuned.
